Solution
A)
Whenhen ethanol is burned in air, it gets oxidised by the oxygen of the air to form and forms inorganic substances like CO2 and H2O.
Since, complete combustion takes place, a lot of heat is produced in this reaction.
REACTION :--
C2H5OH + 3O2 ---> 2CO2 + 3H2O
B)
it gets oxidised to form ethanoic acid and water
C2H5OH + [O] ----alkaline KMnO4--- CH3COOH + H2O
